TRANSCRIPT
A great way to make use of the herbs that might be languishing in your kitchen refrigerator is to take them and use them as an herb salad. You want to just pick the individual leaves. Put them right into the water. Put a little bit of ice in the water. The ice helps to rejuvenate the leaves and make them crispy. Once they sit in the ice water for a few minutes you could drain them out, could run it through the spinner, comes out clean, dry, and vibrant. It could be a garnish for a pasta dish. It could be a garnish for meat or mix it in with greens
